Surfing the net … came across an air show up in Madera, CA. I was totally stoked — WWII birds! P-51’s! Ooooh, and A-10’s. Jets! Noise! I HAD to go! I asked my friends Toney & Kari if they wanted to tag along … Toney said yeah, he totally digs the birds too … Kari was hesitant, but she went along for the ride anyway. It was the first time I’d ever been to an air show … other than the Blue Angel’s, and it was the first time the girls had ever been to one. I was super stoked about it all week long! Parking was dreadful … the dust and wind … terrible … but all worth it to see the birds! 🙂 I was in heaven the moment we walked through the gate … shiny birds everywhere! We grabbed a spot and watched some of the acrobatic planes in action …

This is how Rob caught the action in the sky …

Then we mozied on down to check out the birds that were parked …

However, we were soon distracted by our shadows …self portrait time! 🙂

Yeah, we’re sooo easily amused … but hey, they are pretty rad looking shadows! 🙂 We were getting the oddest looks … of course, they’re probably thinking,

“Man, we are surrounded by WWII birds, and these folks are taking pictures of their shadows? Really? Wow.” Egh, who cares … that’s how we roll! lol

Then … we heard A-10 Demonstration … and ran! They’re big … they’re loud … and they’re ninja’s in the sky!
